Victoria was still dozing when she smelled delicious foods. She sat up quickly and stared at the clock wall. It's already eight in the morning and her husband is already on the table sipping on his coffee while reading letters. She noticed that he's already wearing a suit. She always got mesmerized seeing how Royal-like he looked.
"Good morning, love. Wash up. Let's eat."
Victoria slipped off from the bed and put her robe on. Then, she walked to the bathroom to wash her face. She wiped her face shortly and approached him. She hugged him from behind and kissed her neck.
"What does it say?"
He pointed down three papers and one was supposed to be for her.
Duchess Victoria, I hope that you'll stop pretending to be a saint around Duke Kenzo. Soon, he'll know that you are not the saint that he married.
"That bitch. I am no saint! I'm going to fucking kill her."
Kenzo laughed and held her hand.
"Let it be."
She reached the other papers and read them out loud.
"Duke Kenzo, I can give you more pleasure than your wife could give. Just tell me if you are ready." Victoria snorted.
"My Duke Kenzo, I can't sleep at night thinking of you. I wish to have your warm breath on my skin. And I'll dream of you…" Victoria clenched the paper.
"Well, did you dream about her?" Victoria asked.
"You mean, my wife?" Kenzo asked back. "Yeah, I did."
She giggled and wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Since, I am free today. Can I go around Westeria?"
"Hmm," he seemed to be thinking about it. Kenzo was very much worried about her safety that's why she just can't come out of the house easily.
"I'll be with my assistant, the best bodyguard, and a driver…"
Kenzo sighed. He can't easily say no to her.
"Okay. Bring your smartwatch with you so I can track you."
She giggled and kissed his cheeks.
"Don't worry. I won't go to the strip club in the middle of the day."
He scoffed and patted her head.
"I won't let you. Sit down, let's eat."
She sat down and opened the casserole of the soup. It's still hot and she served it in the bowl.
"Here, eat more," Victoria said like she always tells him.
"You always worried about me," Kenzo said. "You are the one who should eat more."
"Well, darling. I will treat you like a baby and snuggle with you as you want so you won't leave me for this woman's sweet words."
"I thought it's a man?" He grinned as the two of them laughed that there could be a man who would be obsessed with Kenzo.

Stacey opened her heavy eyelids and stared at the green see-through curtains. She turns around to search for Maverick's warmth but he's already not in the bed. She reached for her robe that was hanging on the edge of the post of the bed and put it on. She put her slippers on and went to the terrace of the greenhouse to look for him. She had sudden anxiety but she realized that she's staying with him.
To release her anxiety, she reached her ring finger to touch the ruby that he gave to her as a seal for their engagement. She turned around to the stairs when Mave was right there with a tray of their breakfast.
"Hey, darling." He smiled. "Good morning."
Stacey hated to worry so much. She doesn't want to worry like this. He set up the table by himself and she went to the sink nearby to wash her face.
"I will prepare your favorite breakfast. Egg with bacon, a slice of tomato, and cucumbers… on a sandwich."
"It's big." She giggled and hugged him.
"Yes, it is all for you, my love."
He pulled a chair for her as the couple kissed passionately before setting up for breakfast.
"So, tell me. Have you thought of the gown for our wedding?"
"Yes, I already gave it to Butler Paul."
"Good," he reached her chin and wiped the ketchup from the side of her lip. "I'll be very busy these weeks. The presentation will be near and come to me if you have decided on the cake and other stuff you like."
"Can it be ice cream? I just want to make sure, so we can taste it together."
"I am good with everything. Ice cream cake sounds pretty amazing too. I think our guests would like a different variety."
"Victoria and Kenzo love ice cream cake, Lady Regina loves it too… I liked it too…" She sighed.
"I never tasted any ice cream cake before." He said. "It's new, right?"
Stacey was puzzled as she stared at him. Never did she think that he had never tasted anything so good like ice cream cake. She regretted not getting any cake from work when he was staying with her.
"Y-yeah, it's new." She answered and had thoughts of lots of things now. "What else you haven't tried before?"
"Hmm, I think a lot. You know, I was saving money so I could get a simple meal, a house to stay…"
She was aware of how much he suffered on the streets with an empty stomach and tired from work.
"You are a Duke now," Stacey said.
"Drink your milk. It'll be good for you." He reached her right breast that was showing up and smiled at the kiss marks that he did. "These beauties are doing well."
She giggled and reached his crotch.
"Since you love me…" he grinned and reached the other breast.
"Yeah, sure." She grinned. "Maybe back in our room in the main house?"
It was the time when Maverick and Stacey went back to the main house. The couple quickly makes love on the bed before Maverick opens a few letters that were sent to the house. He's still working in the Marduque Castle that's why he's enjoying how Stacey treated him like a king. It was already twenty minutes after they were done but he's getting aroused with her mouth around his shaft.
Maverick patted her head and opened the letter. It was a report about the Warehouse in Berkon. It was indeed arson. It's time to work with the recording.

It was already nine when Caleb realized that he had woken up so late this time. He couldn't find his phone either. So, he quickly washed his face, put some boxer shorts on, and went downstairs to the kitchen where his wife had already prepared breakfast for them.
"Love, did you see my phone?" Caleb asked and he already noticed it when she pointed it on the countertop.
"You have to eat first before checking anything."
Caleb hesitated for a while but he chose to follow his wife and sat down. She served him hot coffee and a breakfast full of nutrients that he needed.
"How long will it take for you to deal with this thing?" Kaisley asked as she turned on the television. "Maverick already had proof and it was already sent to the police as an investigation."
"Okay." He pulled the chair beside him. She sat down and he reached her hand and kissed it. "Good morning, and I love you!"
Kaisley smiled for the first time today. She didn't want to frown all day.
"Good that you love me! I'll be joining you on every appointment."
"But, it's dangerous for you."
"No," Kaisley said strongly. "Seeing you participating in a rescue, where you could lose your life is killing me too Caleb."
"Uh~~love." He pouted like a child. "I'm sorry."
"Eat first. I'll scold you later."
Caleb has no choice but to follow his wife again. He enjoyed the breakfast and his wife fed him well and even gave him vitamins for his daily nutrition. He also checked if she had drunk her medicine. He doesn't want her to get sick either. Then, the couple washes the dishes and finally bathes together. That's when Caleb could only check his phone when he's fully dressed.
Currently, his wife was busy putting a little make-up on and fixing her hair. She should have had stylish hair and make-up artists to dress her up but she didn't bring any of it. She's independent and partially dependent on him. That is what makes her so wonderful.
Mave: Arson, baby!
Caleb sat down at the edge of the bed and chatted back.
Caleb: Fck! Who was it?
Mave: My speculation was from one of your competitors. But I am still going through more investigations and intel.
Caleb: Screw their small dcks!
He waited for Maverick to answer.
Mave: LMAO. I fell off my chair. My baby was even laughing
Caleb: Three people got hurt because of it. I'll call lawyers and file charges. Manslaughter and so on. Whatever it's called!
Mave: Wait for two weeks. The King moved the auction. Also, I haven't enough evidence for now.
Caleb: Fck. Seriously?
Mave: I won't tell you if I wasn't serious.
Kenzo: (recently joined) Hmm, with Welch as the first suspect and all, I thought I was free from the thought. But that asshole was still sending messages to my wife even on her email. Trying to give her flowery words. He thought that my wife wouldn't tell me.
Caleb: Holy~~cow! That assheeett is doomed.
Kenzo: I know. I am currently filling up concrete reports to make them pay.
Caleb knew that it might bankrupt the Welch. But his company was far way smaller than theirs. The Welch had made an Empire of their own while he only made a company.
"Let's go," Kaisley said and he quickly stood as the group chat kept on notifying.
